Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

There were [-] bandits in Heijiling, [-] were captured at the foot of the mountain, and the remaining [-] were nothing to worry about.

Huo Yan arranged for someone to help the wounded soldier, and Chen Xuanshen and others treated him.

The bandits were disarmed, and they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the government soldiers and frontier soldiers jointly guarded them.

This time the frontier army greeted the food, led by a school lieutenant, surnamed Liu Mingkang.

When Liu Kang came with his troops, he saw that Huo Yan was able to handle the situation with ease in the face of danger. He could use tricks to weaken the bandits' strength even when he was not superior in strength or weapons, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.

After taking a closer look, he found that Huo Yan was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and he couldn't help being shocked.

The young man is dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face, deep and quiet eyes, a tall and straight figure, and an extraordinary demeanor. Although he is still immature, given time, he will surely become a master!

Liu Kang suddenly became friendly, and he cupped his hands and said politely: "I am Liu Kang, a lieutenant under General Cheng's command. I would like to thank His Highness for your generosity in sending food, and also thank you brothers for protecting the food!"

Huo Yan nodded and said: "I'm Huo Yan, Captain Liu is polite."

Surname Huo?

Liu Kang lived at the border for a long time, although he had heard about the disaster of the Huo family, he only knew that General Huo and Young General Huo were beheaded, and he didn't know what happened to the rest of the Huo family.

Therefore, he just regarded it as a coincidence and did not think deeply.

"Commander Huo is brave, and Liu admires it."

"Absurd praise," Huo Yan said indifferently, "I still have to clean up the bandits in Yangwu Mountain, so the food and grass will be taken care of by Xiaowei Liu."

Since Xiaowei Liu is born with the heart of making friends, he will not let go of this opportunity, and he has to reciprocate the kindness of others.

He said generously: "If Commander Huo doesn't dislike it, I can help you suppress the bandits. Besides, if you lead troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits, who will take care of these prisoners?"

The corners of Huo Yan's lips raised slightly, "Then I'll have to thank Lieutenant Liu and you brothers."

"Good talk, good talk."

With the support of the frontier army, the bandit suppression operation in Yangwushan went quite smoothly.

The government soldiers and the frontier army quickly rushed to Heiji Ridge, captured more than [-] bandits, and seized hundreds of grains, and some gold, silver and silk.

Liu Kang's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing in exterminating bandits!

He is also sensible, even if the frontier army needs food for emergency, he will not snatch it from Huo Yan.

When Huo Yan came, Lou Yu told him that he must form a good relationship with the frontier army.

Seeing the light in Liu Kang's eyes, he said, "These bandits have been rampant for many years, looting and mutilating countless people. Your Highness asked me to bring them back to Qingzhou. I have no time to take care of these food and property. Why don't Captain Liu bring them all back to the border?"

When Liu Kang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.

good man!Good man!

He asked: "Would the son blame you?"

He thought it was Huo Yan's private decision.

Huo Yan shook his head: "This is His Highness' order."

Liu Kang's impression of Prince Qing's son suddenly reached an extremely high level.

Such a generous and selfless son is their great blessing!

He will not be ungrateful if others treat him so favorably.

"Commander Huo, there are dozens of hills, big and small, in Yangwu Mountain, how about I fight bandits together with you! We only need food, and you take all the rest of the gold, silver and cloth back!"

Huo Yan said: "Will this delay the military plane?"

The frontier army has been short of food for many days, and now there is food, shouldn't they return to the camp immediately to distribute food?

Liu Kang slapped his head, "Thank you Commander Huo for reminding me, I will send 1000 people back to the camp to protect the food, and the remaining [-] will go with you to suppress the bandits!"

It would be great if two thousand frontier troops joined, so Huo Yan didn't refuse.

At this moment, Li Shu, who was inspecting the bandit's den, ran over suddenly, his face flushed, his tone hesitant, pointing to the backyard of the bandit's den, "Huo Yan, there are many, many women behind that..."

Huo Yan: "..."

Ask him about this, and he doesn't know how to solve it.

Liu Kang has experience, and said: "Those women are probably robbed by bandits, and they are also poor people. If they are willing to go home, they can be allowed to go home, and those who are homeless can take them back and let them be Some work within one's ability, give food to eat."

He made sense, Huo Yan and Li Shu nodded, and the three went to the backyard together.

Outside the backyard, the rest of the government soldiers and frontier soldiers gathered here to watch the excitement. They were all bachelors. How could they have seen so many women, all of them looked like wolves.

Huo Yan glanced sharply, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look again.

After the previous battle, Huo Yan's status in the hearts of the soldiers suddenly rose. Before that, not many people were willing to obey a 15-year-old boy.

But when the bandits came, he was the only one who was calm and composed, fearless in the face of danger, and commanded them to defeat the bandits!

Everyone bowed in their hearts.

Wang Dayong walked to Huo Yan's side and asked, "Second Young Master, what should we do with these women?"

They were standing outside the house, and the group of women were all crowded inside, trembling, shaking like chaff, squatting on the ground with their heads buried in their knees, apparently terrified of them.

Huo Yan said: "Ask them about their own plans first."

Everyone is at a loss, who will ask?

Everyone looked left and right, and in the end, all eyes fell on Huo Yan.

Without it, Huo Yanchang is the most beautiful and the youngest, maybe those girls won't be so scared when they see him.

Li Shu snickered beside him.

Huo Yan had no choice but to tell his left and right: "Go ask for Doctor Chen."

Chen Xuanshen was called to come, and after hearing the reason, he was a little bit blind.

He is just a doctor!

But when everyone saw his handsome appearance, elegant temperament, and gentlemanly demeanor, they couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Compared to Commander Huo, Chen Xuanshen is indeed more suitable!

Chen Xuanshen had no choice but to bite the bullet.

When he walked to the front of the house, he heard the screams of the woman in the house one after another, so he had to stop and whispered:

"Everyone, don't be afraid. We are officers and soldiers who are here to suppress the bandits, and we will not harm you. Now that the bandits have been captured, we are going to let you go back home."

His tone of voice was gentle and peaceful, with a kind of magical power to soothe people's hearts.

The women in the house gradually fell silent.

Some were even bold enough to look up at him secretly, seeing his frail and delicate demeanor, with an elegant and easy-going demeanor, most of them were convinced in their hearts, and asked in a low voice:

"Is what you said true?"

Chen Xuanshen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all true. We are officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, and I am a doctor accompanying the army. I am here to let you go down the mountain."

"Going down the mountain?" A woman choked with sobs, "Even if we go down the mountain, where should we go?"

They are all women who have been defiled by bandits. Even if they return home, their families will be ashamed of them. Maybe they have already "dead" since they were robbed to the mountain.

How can they survive if their family members do not want to take them in?

Chen Xuanshen felt a little sad when he heard the words, and was about to answer when he heard a woman shouting loudly: "Are you really a doctor?!"

"Yes."

The woman stood up, wearing coarse linen clothes, which could hardly conceal her beauty.

The appearance is bright and gorgeous, and the room is full of brilliance.

Many people took a breath, this woman is really beautiful!

It's a pity to be defiled by bandits, it's really unsatisfactory!

Being stared at by everyone, although the woman was a little scared, she forced herself to say: "A girl is injured, can the doctor take a look at her?"

Chen Xuanshen looked at Huo Yan, waited for Huo Yan to nod his head, and then said: "It's crowded here, please girls go out of the house first, so that I can go in for diagnosis and treatment."

The woman hesitated for a moment, finally summoned a group of women, bowed their heads and walked out of the room anxiously.

After all, they have already fallen to this point, no matter how bad they are, they can only lose a cheap life, so what is there to be afraid of?

Prior to this, there were girls who could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide early.Those who can survive until now are all people who cherish their lives. Although they are a little numb, they still have hope in their hearts.

The injured woman in the house was just robbed by bandits up the mountain today, because all thoughts were lost, she touched the wall and fell down.

Didn't die, but remained unconscious.

Chen Xuanshen checked the pulse for her, he settled down, turned around and said, "The injury is not serious, it's just that she suffered from some stimulation, was hungry for a few days, and fainted."

Since there was no fear of their lives, everyone didn't care about it, and turned to discuss the arrangement of the women.

Huo Yan signaled to Li Shu, Li Shu could only touch his nose, and said dryly, "If you want to go home, you can go down the mountain now."

All the women bowed their heads and remained silent.

Li Shu scratched the back of his head and looked at Huo Yan, expressing his helplessness.

Huo Yan had no choice but to say: "In that case, you will go back with the army."

The bold and bright woman sized him up and asked blankly, "May I ask what your lord is going to take us back for?"

If they continue to be reduced to people's entertainment, they might as well go down the mountain to live by themselves.

Huo Yan said coldly: "If you have any objections, go down the mountain by yourself."

All the women: "..."

This young general seemed easy to talk to, but he turned out to be a smelly and hard stone!

They are all weak women. Without their innocence, they can't find a good job even if they go down the mountain. The end result is either selling themselves into slavery or becoming a romantic woman.

The bright woman boldly said: "My lord, we can wash and cook for you lords, we won't eat and drink for free!"

Huo Yan was noncommittal, and told Li Shu: "Heijiling has been wiped out, and there are still dozens of hills left. It is not too late. Leave 100 people to guard Heijiling, and the rest will follow me to suppress the bandits."

Li Shu is convinced of him now, and he dare not refuse.

The women also went down the mountain with them.

Compared to Heijiling, the rest of the bandits are nothing more than mobs.

Under the leadership of Huo Yan and Liu Kang, the government soldiers and frontier troops crushed them all the way, and within a few days, they wiped out all the bandits in Qingyang Wushan, and returned Yangwushan to a clean place.

In this campaign against bandits, a total of more than [-] bandits were captured, as well as some food, gold, silver and cloth, several swords, axes and axes, and more than [-] innocent victims of women.

All the food was handed over to Liu Kang, and the rest was brought back to Gyeongju by the government soldiers.

When they came, there were only a thousand government soldiers, but when they returned, there were more than [-] people, which was particularly spectacular.

The bandits wanted to escape on the way, but Huo Yan was alert and could see through the bandits' tricks every time. With only 1000 people, they crushed more than [-] people to death.

When they finally saw the city wall of Gyeongju, Li Shu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and they all recovered.

Lou Yu has already received the news and is waiting in the city.

Huo Yan left him outside the city, and entered the government office with Li Shu to report to Lou Yu.

Lou Yu was in a happy mood, ordered Feng Erbi to serve good tea, and praised with a smile: "You two have worked hard. This time, you two have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, and you will be rewarded! The rest of the government soldiers will all be rewarded."

He had heard of the property seized in the Bandit Den.

If Huo Yan and Li Shu hadn't led the troops with strict discipline, I'm afraid those property would have been looted by the envious soldiers.

Huo Yan asked: "How should these people be dealt with?"

Lou Yu said lightly: "The bandit leaders are full of evil, and they should be beheaded to show the public. The rest of the bandits, depending on the size of the evil, will either be sent to the saltworks to be labored, or returned to Yangwu Mountain for mining. If there are obedient ones, they can stay to cultivate wasteland or be exiled to the army."

After beheading bandits, he has been able to calmly control the power of life and death.

Those bandit leaders who commit all kinds of crimes are not a pity to die.

Li Shu asked again: "Your Highness, what about those murdered women?"

"I have my own considerations on this matter." Lou Yu said solemnly, "You two tell the whole army not to do anything wrong with those women, even if you just utter obscenities, you must be dealt with by military law!"

The two naturally agreed.

Lou Yu said warmly: "I have ordered to go down and prepare good wine and good food. At that time, the thousand soldiers who will participate in the suppression of the bandits will all have a good drink."

"Thank you Your Highness!" Li Shu blushed with excitement.

Not only rewards, but also good wine and meat, those soldiers must be even more devoted to His Highness.

Huo Yan's handsome eyes were deep, looking at Lou Yu's thinner cheeks, he couldn't help asking: "Will Your Highness drink with us?"

"Yes, Your Highness, why don't you drink with us, everyone will be happier then!" Li Shu smiled innocently.

Lou Yu said helplessly: "If I go, I'm afraid everyone will be uncomfortable, you can drink by yourself."

He still had a lot of things to plan, and he didn't have any spare time, so he said, "You two go down to freshen up first, and take a rest."

Li Shu saluted and left.

However, Huo Yan returned before stepping out of the threshold, looking at Shangyu Yu's puzzled eyes, he solemnly said: "If you go, they will be more convinced of you."

"What?" Lou Yu was at a loss.

Huo Yan didn't expect the shrewd son to have such a pure side.

He reminded: "You go to drink together, the prestige will be even greater."

The loyalty of soldiers is very important to a person in power.

Huo Yan was grateful for Lou Yu's previous actions, so he sincerely asked him something.

Lou Yu was a little surprised when he heard what he meant.

He knew very well that Huo Yan's outstanding performance in leading the army to suppress the bandits this time made the thousand soldiers obey him.

It is one thousand now, and it will be ten thousand or one hundred thousand in the future.

If Huo Yan had a different heart, there was absolutely no need for him to remind himself of such a trivial matter.

Lou Yu felt a little warm in his heart, and his smile was a little genuine.

"It's okay, there are still many things to be resolved urgently, I will not go this time, there will be opportunities in the future."

This person manages the affairs of Gyeongju Prefecture every day and plans for future development, which is no easier than marching and fighting.

Huo Yan invited him to drink together, not only for the so-called prestige, but also for the hope that he could take the opportunity to relax.

He felt that Lou Yu screwed himself too tightly.

He had to run without delay, as if a terrible monster was chasing after him.

Huo Yan said no more, and left.

Lou Yu thought for a while, and ordered Feng Erbi to summon Fengchun and Caixia.

His Highness hadn't ordered them to do things for a long time, Feng Chun and Cai Xia almost thought they were forgotten.

He was summoned by Lou Yu and ran over with a happy face.

"Your Highness, do you have something to ask your servants to do?" Caixia asked excitedly.

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "I asked you and Fengchun to pay attention to the merchants before, did you find any rare treasures?"

"Your Highness, there is indeed, but it's just a plaything. Seeing that you are busy with everything, I didn't dare to disturb you."

Lou Yu asked casually, "What plaything?"

"It's a bead that I bought from a merchant. The texture is similar to our colored glaze, but it has no color, which is a bit strange."

Lou Yu: "..."

Isn't this just glass beads!

He just didn't think of an excuse to make glass, and Caixia's discovery was a timely pillow!

He suppressed the surprise, and wrote lightly: "It is actually colorless colored glaze, which is really rare. If you have time, you must take a closer look."

Turning to the business, "I called you two here today because I have something important to tell you."

Feng Chun and Cai Xia looked at each other, seeing excitement in each other's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please order!"

"Today the government soldiers came back from suppressing the bandits. Among them, there are more than a hundred girls whose families were taken up the mountain by the bandits. Now they have homes and cannot go back, and they have no means of making a living. If we can find some work for them, it will be a blessing. A good thing."

After Lou Yuyan looked at them, he saw that both of them showed resentment and their eyes were shining. They thought they were both women, so they felt the same way.

"Your Highness, they are so pitiful!" Cai Xia was filled with righteous indignation, "Those bandits should have no descendants!"

Feng Chun also nodded in agreement.

A man who bullies a woman will die a terrible death!

Lou Yu said: "They are bullied by others, and their minds are sensitive. They definitely don't want to have contact with men. After thinking about it, only you two are suitable for this matter."

"Your Highness, please rest assured! The slaves will definitely let them do it again!"

Caixia seems to have regarded those poor women as his responsibility.

"Okay." Lou Yu ordered, "First find a secluded place for them, carefully register each person's identity, and then arrange for them light work such as making clothes and sewing."

Caixia and Fengchun were ordered to retreat.

Early the next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

The "guest" from Yangwushan stayed outside the city overnight.Those women were separated by the government soldiers, all gathered in the corner with pale faces, some even wept silently.

They came to Gyeongju with the army aimlessly, and now they don't know where the future lies.

If it weren't for the anger and unwillingness to hang around, they might have chosen to commit suicide long ago, instead of dragging a dirty body and lingering in the dark world.

Those beasts are not dead yet, why should they die!

Suddenly, a group of people came out from the city, led by the young general who suppressed the bandits.

He has handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and is dressed in black clothes. He is riding on a horse, looking down at the bandits, and said:

"His Royal Highness has ordered that the bandits in Yangwu Mountain burned, killed and looted for many years, causing countless innocent people to die in vain. In order to do justice for the heavens, the evil leaders should be punished today!"

All the bandit leaders looked at him in horror.

I thought they were brought to Gyeongju to serve as soldiers or coolies, but I didn't expect to kill them!

They struggled and screamed, begging for mercy again and again, but they couldn't break free from the shackles of the soldiers.

Some vicious bandit leaders were taken up and slipped in front of people. They were tied with ropes and kicked to kneel on the ground, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Once, they treated the people passing by as fish, but now, it's time for them to face the cold blade.

The girls not far away couldn't help applauding and laughing when they saw this, it's great!

It was so good!

It was these villains who did evil and ruined their lives!

Good kill!Great kill!

Of course, it wasn't just these people who bullied them, but also those unnamed gangsters.

But they also knew that it was impossible to kill all those bandits.

Being able to kill the evil leader has already satisfied them.

On the city tower, Lou Yu, together with Guo Lian and a group of officials, looked down at the bloody scene of killing the bandit leader under the city wall.

Guo Lian and the others were all civil servants. Where had they seen such brutal and bloody scenes? Except for the well-informed prison officer, the rest of the officials were pale, crumbling, and vomiting.

Lou Yu smiled and looked leisurely.

"My lords, did you enjoy watching it? These are all evil bandits in Yangwu Mountain, and they have all been captured now. In this way, Lord Guo can go to the court to show his merits and receive rewards."

The calmer he is, the more afraid Guo Lian and others are of him.

A pampered son of the royal family, who is only fourteen years old, does not feel afraid in the face of such a scene, but is full of interest and enjoys it very much, it is really frightening!

The smell of blood came into Guo Lian's nose with the wind, Guo Lian retched again, and waved his hands with a pale face: "This merit belongs to Your Highness, I dare not pretend to claim it."

"Master Guo is too far-fetched," Lou Yu put his hands on the city wall, smiling extremely gentlely, "You are the prefect, but I am just a son of no power, you deserve it."

Under the brilliant rays of the sun, the face of the young prince became clearer and clearer. He was wearing a sky blue robe, the corners of which fluttered in the wind, looking like a rosy glow and moonlike charm, floating out of the dust.

It's a pity that there is such a terrifying beast hidden under such a harmless appearance!

Guo Lian said helplessly: "If your Highness has orders, please speak up."

The bandit leader has been killed, and the golden wheel suddenly appears.

Lou Yu turned his head to face Guo Lian, with a sharp expression, "I want you to write to the imperial court to bring all the boundaries of Yangwu Mountain into the administrative jurisdiction of Gyeongju Prefecture."

Guo Lian shook his head: "Even if an official submits a letter, the imperial court may not necessarily agree to it."

"Nowadays, His Majesty ignores the government and corrupt officials are rampant. Whether things can be done or not depends on how filial is not in place."

Lou Yu snorted and said, "But Yangwu Mountain is full of bandits, those people don't care at all, they even wish you could take over a big trouble."

What else can Guo Lian say?write chant!

After the bandit leader was beheaded, the group of bandits completely quieted down and never dared to act like monsters again.

Huo Yan and Li Shu divided them into several parts according to Lou Yu's instructions.

Those who committed serious crimes were all taken back to Yangwu Mountain to mine, and asked to forgive their past mistakes.

Lou Yu mobilized some troops to supervise their mining work.

Those with serious crimes were sent to the saltworks to produce salt. Although the saltworks have been reformed now, these people are criminals, and entering the saltworks must be different from the working system of ordinary salt workers.

Lou Yu selected several people, including Zhao Shuangsi, to closely supervise the work of the labor camp prisoners.

Those who have not committed many serious crimes can choose to serve as soldiers or cultivate wasteland.

Some people are greedy for the treatment and prestige of the government soldiers, so they rush to join the army; some people don't want to live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and choose to farm.

In this way, 600 mountain bandits were allocated, 800 were recruited to dig mines, 600 were to work as salt workers, the remaining 2000 people, 600 joined the army, and [-] opened up wasteland.

The strength of Gyeongju increased from [-] to [-].

But this is not enough.

Lou Yu is not in a hurry, there will only be more and more refugees in this world, as long as they are refugees fleeing to Qingzhou Prefecture, he will not refuse them.

What if the refugees do not come to Gyeongju?

It just so happened that Wang Dayong's food delivery team was about to set off again.

Lou Yu earnestly told them that once they met refugees on the road, they must vigorously publicize Gyeongju's policy on treating refugees, and he did not believe that no one would come.

Wang Dayong and the others twitched their mouths and left Gyeongju Mansion speechlessly.

Everything is ready.

Lou Yu convened all the "veterans" to discuss the future development plan of Gyeongju in the government office.

He unfolded the map of Gyeongju Prefecture, pointed a place with his slender hand like jade, and said to everyone: "Here, I want to build a new city."

A new city that relies on and blends with the old city!

The meeting room was silent.

Lou Yu had a panoramic view of their expressions.

It's nothing more than feeling that he is superfluous and whimsical.

He withdrew his hand and rested his chin on his palm: "Everyone can speak freely."

Yang Guanghuai asked: "Why does Your Highness want to build a new city?"

"Thousands of bandits were captured this time, and two thousand more troops were added. However, the barracks and houses in the government are limited, Li Shu, right?" Lou Yu asked.

Li Shu nodded, "It's really not enough. Fortunately, it's not so cold at night, otherwise those recruits would have suffered a lot."

What can I do if I don't have a house to live in?Sitting on the ground under the curtain.

If you want to pitch a tent, you need space in the city.

Lou Yu said again: "The group of refugees before have no houses to live in, and it is very difficult for the women rescued by Yangwu Mountain to find a place to live."

He sighed softly, with compassion in his eyes: "There will only be more and more refugees in the future, but there is nowhere to live in the city, so what if we don't build a new city?"

Li Shu wondered, "Just let them settle in the countryside outside the city. Why do we need to build a new city?"

"Because it's 'new'." Lou Yu deliberately teased him.

Li Shu didn't understand, but Yang Guanghuai and Huo Yan understood somewhat.

The so-called new is to build a city that is completely his own. In the new city, Lou Yu will have complete control, instead of the current Gyeongju City that is riddled with holes.

Yang Guanghuai looked at the map carefully: "Your Highness wants to build a new city with mountains and rivers as the center?"

"That's right," Lou Yu nodded with a smile, "Mountains are natural barriers, and water can carry boats. Building a new city requires a stable environment and a steady supply of resources, and it's very close to the old city, so it's easy to get around."

"Convenience?" Li Shu asked.

Lou Yu was too lazy to explain so much, "You will know later."

He looked around at everyone and asked, "Any more questions?"

Huo Yan said: "What do we need to do?"

Lou Yu admired his straightforward attitude, and couldn't help but give him a compliment: "You need to obey any arrangement."

Li Li stood up immediately: "Your Highness, please show me."

The meeting lasted for two hours, and it ended at Shen Shizheng (four o'clock in the afternoon).

After several people left, Lou Yu stretched indecently. Halfway through the stretch, he suddenly retracted his hand when he saw Huo Yan returning to the door.

The two looked at each other in embarrassment, Lou Yu had a thick skin, pretended nothing happened, and spoke first: "What's the matter?"

Huo Yan hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "It's nothing."

Then turned to leave.

Lou Yu: "..."

You have the ability to come back, and you have the ability to speak out!

He wiped his face sadly.

Could it be that Huo Yan gave up what he wanted to say after seeing his indecent posture?

He sat in the meeting room for a while, dissipating the heat on his face a little, and then slowly left the meeting room.

As soon as he came out of the conference room, the prison officer came to report.

Lou Yu was too lazy to go back, so he stood on the porch and asked, "What's the matter?"

The prison officer looked down at the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the bandits who were imprisoned before, should they continue to be imprisoned?"

After the bandits were punished at the city gate, the prison officer became more and more in awe of Lou Yu.

Not only him, but the rest of the government officials are also walking on thin ice, fearing that one day they will provoke Lou Yu and be dragged to the gate of the city to be beheaded for public display.

As a result, work efficiency has risen rapidly.

Lou Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, he was too busy these days, he forgot all about the gangsters locked up in the prison!

These are labor forces!

His expression suddenly became serious: "How many prisoners are there in the prison?"

The prison officer opened his mouth and answered: "A total of 980 people, including 750 male prisoners and 230 female prisoners."

Lou Yu's eyes lit up, they were all laborers!

He immediately ordered: "Release the bandit first, I will send someone to take over, and the list of the rest of the prisoners will be sorted out and submitted."

The warden went down in a daze.

Lou Yu returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, and after washing up, he ordered Caixia to show him the glass beads.

The glass beads are crystal clear, although there are still a small amount of impurities inside, but to Lou Yu, it is already a pleasant surprise.

He has been wearing glass beads for several days, showing off in front of his subordinates and officials from time to time, looking like he can't put it down and regards it as a treasure.

So everyone knows that His Royal Highness loves the colorless glazed beads very much.

Lou Yu took advantage of the situation and put up a notice stating that if anyone can provide the source of the colorless glazed beads and find a craftsman to make the beads for him, he will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels!

The whole city was in an uproar.

Golden hundred taels!God!Prince Qing's son is so extravagant!It is worthy of the name of the boy who spreads wealth!

Not only ordinary people, people who are familiar with Lou Yu don't know what Lou Yu wants to do.

However, colorless glazed beads have neither brilliant colors nor practical value, so why love them so much?

But no matter what, the whole city fell into a frenzy of searching for colorless glazed beads.

Everyone wants to get 100 taels of gold.

The merchant who sold the summer colorless glazed beads was overjoyed when he heard the news.

He bought this bead from a merchant in the Western Regions, but unexpectedly, it caught the eyes of Prince Qing's son.

He didn't tell anyone, but sneaked to Prince Qing's mansion, saying he knew about the colorless colored glaze beads.

Lou Yu met him.

"Western Region?" Lou Yu smiled warmly, "Since that's the case, I trouble you to go to the Western Region. If you find out how to make this bead, you will definitely be rewarded."

The merchant left the palace happily.

I don't know who spread the news. Everyone knows that there is an unknown merchant who knows the origin of this bead and has already informed His Royal Highness, so he sighed bitterly, only to feel that he passed by the heavy gold.

Within a few days, Lou Yu had someone tear up the notice.

He told everyone: "I have found the method of making colorless glazed beads. When the kiln is completed, I must make many!"

Everyone: "..."

His Highness is true love for the colorless glazed beads!

After the start of the new city plan, Lou Yu began to mobilize the whole city to prepare for the construction of the new city.

He aggressively purchased all kinds of raw materials except iron ore, which immediately inspired the fighting spirit of almost all merchants.

More and more caravans transported a steady stream of goods from other places and resold them to the government.

——Lou Yu did all this in the name of the government office.

Wood, limestone, clay, coal, sand and many other raw materials were continuously transported to Gyeongju City by land and water.

Gyeongju City has become a holy place for caravans.

Just when the people were amazed that the city was becoming more and more lively, the government government posted notices on every street and alley, and even in the countryside and villages.

The notice said: We sincerely hire carpenters, blacksmiths, potters and some middle-aged men to go out of the city to work. The monthly salary is generous. Those who are interested are welcome to register at the west side gate of the government office. Different types of work have different salaries.

Some old-fashioned craftsmen dismissed it. They were doing well in their own shops, so why bother to help the government?

Some artisans who had accomplished their studies but had no capital to make a living could not help but feel ready to move, and went to the west side gate of the government office one after another.

In order to make a living, even rural artisans embarked on the road of applying for jobs apprehensively after hearing the news.

When the news reached the farm, Xu Sheng hurriedly found Wei Si, and asked eagerly, "Master Wei, I heard that the government office wants to recruit blacksmiths?"

During this period of time, he has been helping the farmer to do what he can in exchange for some food to survive.

But when will such days end?

Without a job to settle down, he can't see the future.

So when I heard the news, I was very excited.

If he has the opportunity to work and earn money, he can live here, and maybe he can build a house and marry a wife in the future.

Previously, Wei Si let the refugees make their own choices, and many helpless refugees chose to sell themselves into paper mills.

Now the paper mill has started work, and his fellow countryman has been working in the paper mill for half a month. Every day begins at the beginning of the hour and ends at the beginning of the unitary hour, and the meal is full.

Moreover, there are regulations in the paper mill: whoever does more will earn more money; whoever can improve machinery or paper will be promoted and rich.

Of course, Xu Sheng didn't know that there was a dark room hidden in the paper workshop, which was specially used to make arrow shafts and bows.

If Lou Yu's ironworks hadn't been built yet, the finished bows and arrows would be full of warehouses.

He stared at Wei Si closely.

Wei Si nodded and said, "Indeed."

Xu Sheng asked: "Can the villain go?"

"Why not?" Wei Si asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you are a blacksmith?"

Xu Sheng was puzzled: "But now I am His Highness's person, and the recruitment is arranged by the government. If His Highness disagrees..."

Wei Si: "..."

Ordinary people really don't know the relationship between the government office and His Royal Highness.

He couldn't explain clearly, so he said: "Your Highness won't hold you back, just go."

Xu Sheng was even more puzzled: "But didn't His Highness send someone to supervise us earlier and asked us to do things for him?"

Wei Si had no choice but to say with a straight face: "If you ask again, you really won't be able to go."

Xu Sheng ran out of the farm in a hurry.

The registration office at the west gate of the government office was surrounded by craftsmen and laborers who came to look for work.

The clerks in charge of the registration had their voices cut.

Just when they were in despair, a team of city guards came and ordered everyone to line up quietly, only to let them catch their breath.

A young man stood in front of the official, and beside him stood a thin-faced woman. The two looked like mother and son.

The little official asked, "What's your name? How old is it? What will you do?"

The young man gave a serious look: "My name is Zhang Feng, I am 16 years old, and I know carpentry."

The little official looked up at him, "How many years have you been an apprentice? How many years have you been working formally?"

Zhang Feng was thin-skinned and blushed slightly: "I have been an apprentice for eight years, and I haven't... haven't done it formally."

The formal workmanship here refers to formally being a master carpenter, personally accepting orders to customize wooden furniture for customers.

Zhang Feng has never been a master carpenter.

Hearing the little official's question, his whole heart shuddered.

The last time he recruited workers at the Wangfu Farm, he was rejected for not being old enough. Could it be that he will be rejected this time because of this?

The woman beside her couldn't help but have red eyes.

Unexpectedly, the little official said: "Then be an intern first, with a monthly salary of [-] Wen. If you perform well within six months, you can be transferred to a regular worker with a monthly salary of [-] Wen. If you do well, the monthly salary will be paid back later." Up. If you want, you can press your fingerprint here."

Zhang Feng:! ! !

Although he didn't understand interns and regular workers very well, he could clearly hear "three hundred yuan", "five hundred yuan", and "it will increase in the future"!

Zhang Feng couldn't wait to ask: "Are you going to work for a long time?"

After all, the first six months were just interns!

The little official frowned: "If you don't want to, then..."

"I am willing!"

Zhang Feng hastily pressed his fingerprints.

It would be great to find a long-term job!

The little official handed him a contract, which was stamped with the seal of the government office and the young man's small fingerprints.

"On the day of the start of work, take this to report."

Zhang Feng happily took it, and moved his seat to let the people behind him take it.

"Mom, I can make money!"

The mother and son wept with joy.

There are many people who are as excited as them. After all, it is not easy to find a stable job these days.

But there are still doubts.

The root of this doubt is distrust of the government.

What if the government defaults on wages?Don't they have nowhere to ask for help?What if the government says one thing and does another?They still had nowhere to call for help.

Some people maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

But they will always keep an eye on the family who is participating in the work, and they will judge whether it is worthwhile to work for the government based on the living standard of that family.

Zhang Feng's neighbors are like this.

The mother and son returned to the door with the contract in their hands. Aunt Sun next door was sitting on the ponytail and looked sideways.

"Zhang's family, did you really take your son?"

Zhang's mother never easily turned against others, she smiled and said: "Yes.
